When?
When I'm hurt?
Trying to act brave like I'm not in pain.

I just feel this warmth surrounding me.
Caring for me unselfishly.
I just know tender was the arms (the arms) that held me.

Putting my mind at ease and it's so great having someone to love me.

When I cry?
Yes, tears rolling down my face.
I feel the warmth of hands rubbing them away.

I just know tender was the arms that held me.
And a sweet word of a voice bringing comfort to me.

So tender.
I remember.
So tender was the arms that held me.

Yes, so tender.
Yes, I remember was the arms that held me closer.

It was only you,
My love at first sight.
My heart became a canvas,
Where I splashed colours of endurance,
And when at last you accepted me,
With your soft lips on mine,
Waiting for you was worth every single moment.

You wrote me in
to your conversation
I wrote you in
to my conversation
Here is what you
had to say

I didn't say that

I've written
you differently
this time

More convenient
No longer irascible

Now what you say
Hearable

This audience blinks and thinks
about hear-a-ability
and vanishes
